First, you write the equation in its simplest form:
5x + 2 = 3x
Then, you subtract 3x from both sides of the equation, so that the right side has no unknowns left:
2x + 2 = 0
Then, you subtract 2 from both sides of the equation, so that the left side has only a multiple of x left:
2x = -2
Finally, you divide both sides by 2, so that the left side is simply x:
x = -1
